error when installed from vundle

[nickdesaulniers]

I've installed this package via vundle.

When I type a dot after an instance of an object, I get:

Error detected while processing function ClangComplete:
line   22:
Traceback (most recent call last):

and when vim starts for a cpp file, I see a quick flash:

possible duplicate #264 ?

Probably not, the last error is the result of the first one, which is different issue in your case.

I'm not sure what that error means, but if you run python and type in from ctypes import * and get same errors, it's python issue. Otherwise maybe Vim uses wrong python and you could try running :python from ctypes import * in Vim, in which case it's Vim's issue. It looks like some python thing just fails, clang_complete doesn't do much at this point, but I might be wrong.

When I run the import from python, no issue. When I run it in Vim, I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):

From the readme:

You need Vim 7.3 or higher, compiled with python support and ideally, with
the conceal feature.

I am running vim 7.3, but I don't remember ever compiling it from source, but it's not listed from brew list | grep vim, so maybe I did at one point. which vim points to /usr/bin/vim and la /usr/bin/vim shows it as an exectuable, not a symlink, so I'm guessing I must still be using the default vim from OSX. Maybe I should try building vim myself and try again?

[xaizek]

If you have :python command, you do have Vim compiled with python, but I have no idea what this Cellar is and whether python under that path is the one that comes with OSX (the one system Vim should be compiled against). Rebuilding Vim might help, but I'm really not sure.

homebrew puts installed binaries in Cellars (homebrew has all this drink related metaphors; cellars, casks, taps). Looks like I have a version of python installed with homebrew. Let me try removing it real quick.

Working well, thanks for the help @xaizek ! Quick question, now when I auto complete an additional window is opened on top that I don't know how to close. Maybe if I knew more about vim, but any idea what this is or how I can prevent it or at least close it?

Try adding let g:clang_close_preview = 1 or set completeopt-=preview to your .vimrc. Use Ctrl-W O to close all windows except the current one, Ctrl-W C works as :q, navigation is Ctrl-W followed by h/j/k/l.

set completeopt-=preview worked well, thanks so much!
